Like most parents of young kids I have a son who is deeply into Minecraft. I also had a raspberry pi 2 sitting around and a friend mentioned that I could run a Minecraft server on it! Woohoo I thought. My son will think it’s the most amazing thing ever and I will be super dad! (Note: kids just like Minecraft, putting it on a raspberry pi is secondary to them it turns out and isn’t as cool a I thought it was). Turns out its pretty simple, drop on an OS, in this case Raspbian, and then load up a minecraft server following one of the many guides available on the internet. I got that all up running with a great sense of satisfaction and looking like superman, batman and a skylander all in one to my Son. #BadAssDad.
I’m also a bit of a space and aeronautics nut. And it got me thinking, I wonder if I can get ADS-B signals (most planes broadcast these) feeding to flightradar24.com to help them build their coverage map. The raspberry pi doesn’t have a receiver that can do this out of the box, but you can buy USB sticks that do this on amazon pretty cheaply like this one from NooElec (the one I bought).
FlightRadar24.com provides pretty simple instructions about how to load an app onto your pi that takes signals from the USB stick and feeds them to their site. So simple i managed to follow it! Mind you I was already getting intimate with the command line, PuTTY for the Minecraft install, so things felt a bit simpler at that point.
Once you get the whole thing up and running you get log into their site and see statistics about your feed, how many aircraft you have tracked … and generally feel good about helping to crowd source this data.
Oh … and it’s all kinda nerdy which gave me a sense of satisfaction too.
Here is a shot of the wee beast running.

I have made the hard decision to leave Microsoft at the end of August/early Sept.
Deciding to move is never an easy decision to make and this time is no different for me. I absolutely love Office 365, working with developers and ISVs and the amazing team I have the fortune of running and working with every day. I am crazy proud of what we have achieved in the last year and half I have worked on the team and am very happy with the direction it’s going. I am more bullish than ever about Office 365 and in particular the opportunity around it.
So much so that I want to take part in it!
I’m extremely excited about the opportunity to build amazing software products and for that reason I am co-founding a brand new Kirkland based innovation lab, HyperFish, focused on taking ideas from inception through to fruition with the goal of making customers businesses run better in the cloud and with Office 365. You might wonder exactly what ideas and over time we will have more specific details to share around what we are building … so stay tuned for that!
I couldn’t be happier to be joining forces with Brian Cook, co-founder of Nintex, on this journey. Brian is an experienced entrepreneur and business leader who helped take Nintex from an idea to a company with over 5000 customers worldwide. Anyone who has spent any time around SharePoint will know about Nintex and the great products they make.
I’m very excited about the opportunities we have to dream up and build products that help businesses in the cloud. We are setting up shop in Kirkland WA on the shores of Lake Washington, so I won’t be moving out of the area.
I’m looking forward to the challenge!
